March 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Lowell George has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): \bblog(?:cu|fa|harbor|mybrain|post|savy|spot|townhall)?\.com\b (links: http://thumbrella.blogspot.com/2009/02/poem-for-lowell.html). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, or similar site, then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 12:12, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Appeal

I have started a discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Deletion_review#Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion.2FCausal_layered_analysis regarding your appeal. Woukd you like to review the deletion, or merge some of the material? Bearian (talk) 20:53, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

I see you want to get this article restored. I can restore it to a userspace draft, such as User:Thereflector/Causal layered analysis or a more general draft page such as Draft:Causal layered analysis, provided that you will commit to seriously working on this to making it more appropriate for Wikipedia, particularly by improving the cited references, and that you will not try to move it back to the article space without asking an admin or another experienced editor to review it first. DES ^(talk) 23:10, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

To User:DESiegel Yes, we'll commit to seriously working on it to make it appropriate for Wikipedia, e.g. by improving the cited references, and we'll ask an admin or editor to review. Would we find an admin or editor through you? Let me know where you move it to - probably better for it to go to a draft page such as Draft:Causal Layered Analysis. Thereflector (talk) 00:15, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

The article is now here: Draft:Causal layered analysis. Bearian (talk) 00:21, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I have restored it at Draft:Causal layered analysis (note that Wikipedia practices are that article names are in "sentence case" and so only the first word is capitalized except for proper names).

Wikipedia:Administrators includes links to lists of administrators. You can also use the template {{Help me}} to draw attention to a request for assistance, or pot on the help desk with such a request, or message any experienced editor that you have come to know, keeping in mind that all editors are volunteers and may be busy with other issues on- or off-wiki.

Feel free to let others know the address of the draft, and work on it cooperatively. Of course, each person should have and use a separate account (or else not log in, but using an account has several benefits and no real costs).

Please look at the issues now listed at the top of the draft, and attempt to deal with each one. Give particular attention to notability and establishing it through inline cited references to published independent reliable sources. These should not all trace to the same author or entity, if that can be avoided, and should discuss the subject in some depth. See referencing for beginners for more details on how to do this. Also, please be sure that the article is written neutrally and with an encyclopedic tone, it should not sound like a press release, advertisement, or an article from a proponent of the subject. It should also be adapted to a non-technical audience, particularly in the lead section (see WP:LAYOUT).

Feel free to ask me specifically any questions about the process you might have, on my talk page or to ask at the hep desk at any time. Please do identify the specific page involved with a link when you ask for help. DES ^(talk) 00:32, 25 February 2014 (UTC)

Note also that a long "Advantages" section (more than half the article) with no "Disadvantages" (surely it has some) or "Criticism" (surely some have published negative accounts) seems very non-neutral and promotional. Probably soem of the content from "Advantages" could usefully be moved into a section such as "Properties" or "Details" or some such, and written more neutrally.
